That is nice. Are these settings stored? Or do I have to make it everytime I restart or replug my tablet? What if I want to map Shift to one of the buttons? (I want to hold it down doing things)

If it doesn't store your settings permanently either make a startup script, or store the options permanently in your x11 (xorg.conf/xorg.conf.d) config file (try the .xinitrc file in your home dir). Using the xinitrc file, options will be loaded everytime you login. I use xfce and have the option to also run a specific script when a USB device is plugged in (for hotplugging). See these two links for more information: a) linuxwacom.sourceforge.net/index_old.php/howto/xsetwacom b) sourceforge.net/apps/mediawiki/linuxwacom/…

For assigning hotkeys to the buttons, this is more than possible as they can even be chained together to make "macros". Use xsetwacom --list modifiers for a complete list of the key modifiers you can use on your system. You can simply place them in order of execution separated by spaces.

It may also be safer to create your own conf file for wacom as: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/52-wacom-options.conf and place any options you want active by default in there! Modifying the xorg.conf file can damage the x system.

But I can't get the modifier pressed while I press my tablet's button. (This is interesting for me because e.g. I want do to multiple clicks and other actions while holding down the Shift key)
